Nylon Lifting Sling – Triangle – 3″ x 8′ – 2-ply

A 3 inch triangle lifting sling is one of the more common widths for general vertical and basket-hitch rigging. Also called a type 2 sling or triangle lifting sling, it’s built with a triangle fitting at each end for vertical or basket hitch use only; a choker hitch calls for the slotted triangle choker sling instead. This 2-ply construction steps up capacity over the 1-ply option.

Key Features

• Triangle fitting at each end, standard in steel
• Built for vertical hitch or basket hitch use only, not choker
• Made in the USA to industry standards
• 3-ply and 4-ply capacities available through custom order by contacting our sales team
• Sewn-in tag lists working load limits for vertical and basket hitch use

Applications

• Vertical or basket hitch lifts that don’t require a choker hitch option
• Jobs where a triangle nylon sling connects easily to standard rigging hardware at both ends
• Crews that already know they won’t need to switch this sling to a choker hitch

Determining Sling Length

Sling length is measured from the load-bearing point of one eye to the load-bearing point of the opposite eye, providing the effective working length of the sling.

Sling Proof Testing Certificates

Proof testing certificates are available for a nominal fee and must be requested at the time of your order. For certified proof testing, each sling is individually tested at the factory to twice its rated vertical rating, and the results are formally documented for compliance purposes. Under normal production procedures, only select slings are tested as part of routine quality checks. Because of this, every sling requiring a proof test certificate must be tested individually during manufacturing.
